1Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind,
1To naah Angraeng mah takhi kamhae thung hoiah Job ih lok to pathim pae, anih khaeah;
2“Who is this who darkens counsel by words without knowledge?
2panoekhaih tawn ai ah thuih ih lok hoiah khoving baktiah omsak kami loe mi aa?
3Brace yourself like a man, for I will question you, then you answer me!
3Vaihi nongpa baktiah kaeng to angzaeng ah; kang dueng ih lok hae na pathim ah.
4“Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declare, if you have understanding.
4Long angdoethaih akung ka sak nathuem ah naa ah maw na oh? Na panoek nahaeloe, na thui ah.
5Who determined its measures, if you know? Or who stretched the line on it?
5Mi mah maw long tahhaih qui to sak? To tih ai boeh loe mi mah maw a nuiah tahhaih qui to payang? Na panoek nahaeloe pathim ah.
6What were its foundations fastened on? Or who laid its cornerstone,
6Long angdoethaih akung to naa ah maw a paeh? To tih ai boeh loe im takii ih thlung loe mi mah maw tlingh?
7when the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
7Khawnbang cakaehnawk nawnto laasak o moe, Sithaw caanawk anghoehaih hoiah hangh o nathuem,
8“Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it broke out of the womb,
8to tih ai boeh loe amno zok thung hoiah tuipui tacawt moe, tapok naah, mi mah maw tuipui thok khah?
9when I made clouds its garment, and wrapped it in thick darkness,
9Tamai ka sak naah, kathah parai vinghaih hoiah ka khuk moe, ka yaw hmoek,
10marked out for it my bound, set bars and doors,
10angzithaih ramri to ka suek pae, thok hoi takraenghaih thing to ka suek pae moe,
11and said, ‘You may come here, but no further. Your proud waves shall be stopped here’?
11hae karoek to ni nang zoh thaih, hae ahmuen hae na poeng mak ai; nam oekhaih tuiphu loe hae ah boengsak ah, tiah ka naa.
12“Have you commanded the morning in your days, and caused the dawn to know its place,
12Na hing thung akhawnbang hanah lok na paek vai moe, akhawnbang khodai hanah angmah ih ahmuen to na patuek vai maw;
13that it might take hold of the ends of the earth, and shake the wicked out of it?
13akhawnbang khodai mah long boenghaih to patawnh moe, kasae kaminawk tasoehsak maw?
14It is changed as clay under the seal, and presented as a garment.
14Long loe catui daeng ih baktiah krang to amtueng moe, khukbuen pong ih krang baktih toengah oh.
15From the wicked, their light is withheld. The high arm is broken.
15Kasae kaminawk aanghaih loe anghmat moe, payangh ih ban doeh angkhaeh pae.
16“Have you entered into the springs of the sea? Or have you walked in the recesses of the deep?
16Tuipui tacawthaih akhaw thungah na kun moe, kathuk koek ahmuen ah na caeh vai maw?
17Have the gates of death been revealed to you? Or have you seen the gates of the shadow of death?
17Nang hanah duekhaih khongkha to paong vai maw? To tih ai boeh loe duekhaih tahlip ih thoknawk to na hnuk vai maw?
18Have you comprehended the earth in its width? Declare, if you know it all.
18Kawk parai long hae na panoek vai maw? Na panoek boih nahaeloe, na thui ah.
19“What is the way to the dwelling of light? As for darkness, where is its place,
19Aanghaih ahmuen phakhaih loklam loe naa ah maw oh? Vinghaih ahmuen loe naa ah maw oh?
20that you should take it to its bound, that you should discern the paths to its house?
20Khoving khodai ohhaih ahmuen ah nihcae to na hoi thai tih maw? To hmuennawk ohhaih loklam to na panoek maw?
21Surely you know, for you were born then, and the number of your days is great!
21Nang loe na tapen boeh, to tih ai boeh loe saning paroeai na hing boeh pongah, na panoek han oh.
22Have you entered the storehouses of the snow, or have you seen the storehouses of the hail,
22Dantui kamkhawk suekhaih imthung ah na kun vai maw? To tih ai boeh loe qaetui patunghaih ahmuen to na hnuk vai maw?
23which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war?
23To hmuennawk loe raihaih tue, misa angkahhaih hoi misa angtukhaih tue nathuem han ih na ai maw ka suek?
24By what way is the lightning distributed, or the east wind scattered on the earth?
24Aanghaih loe naa ih loklam hoiah maw aang, to tih ai boeh loe ni angyae bang ih takhi loe naa bang ih loklam hoiah maw song?
25Who has cut a channel for the flood water, or the path for the thunderstorm,
25Tui longhaih loklam to paqoi moe, tangphrapuekhaih loklam sahkung loe mi maw?
26to cause it to rain on a land where there is no man, on the wilderness, in which there is no man,
26Mi mah maw kami om ai praezaek hoi kami om ai, long ah kho angzosak?
27to satisfy the waste and desolate ground, to cause the tender grass to grow?
27Long karoem, pahnawt sut ih long ah, qam kanawk hoi phro amprawksak hanah mi mah maw sak?
28Does the rain have a father? Or who fathers the drops of dew?
28Khotui loe ampa tawnh maw? To tih ai boeh loe mi mah maw dantui ohsak?
29Whose womb did the ice come out of? Who has given birth to the gray frost of the sky?
29Kamkhawk tui loe mi ih zok thung hoiah maw tacawt? Van hoi krah tathuk dantui loe mi ih zok thung hoiah maw tacawt?
30The waters become hard like stone, when the surface of the deep is frozen.
30Tuinawk loe siktue naah thlung baktiah amkhawk o.
31“Can you bind the cluster of the Pleiades, or loosen the cords of Orion?

34“Can you lift up your voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover you?
34Pop parai tui ang kraih pae hanah, tamai to lok na paek thai maw?
35Can you send out lightnings, that they may go? Do they report to you, ‘Here we are’?

36Who has put wisdom in the inward parts? Or who has given understanding to the mind?
36Mi mah maw palunghahaih hoi panoek thaihaih palungthin to paek?
37Who can count the clouds by wisdom? Or who can pour out the containers of the sky,
37Tamai kroek thaih palungha mi maw kaom? Maiphu loe amtaak moe, longnawk nawnto amhlom o naah, van ih pailangnawk krai thaih mi maw kaom?
38when the dust runs into a mass, and the clods of earth stick together?

39Kaipui hanah moi na zoep pae thai maw? To tih ai boeh loe saning nawk kaipui zok nam hahsak thai maw?
40when they crouch in their dens, and lie in wait in the thicket?
40Nihcae loe thlungkhaw thungah tabok o moe, kapring thung hoiah moi angang o naah, na pacah thai maw?
41Who provides for the raven his prey, when his young ones cry to God, and wander for lack of food?
